On the expansive 100-acre farm in
the heart of Fort Portal City is where you find Seezi Tubenawe, who recently
graduated from Mountains of the Moon University with a Bachelor of Science in
Agriculture. Upon graduation, Seezi who is motivated by his humble background
promised himself to work hard. He hoped he would carry on the spirit of
teamwork that he had learned earlier in life, in his career as an Agricultural
Officer. Through Enabel’s Work Readiness Programme (WRP), Seezi, along with 14 other
graduates, was employed at Alibagu Company Limited, a farm that has been in
existence for over ten years.
Seezi has been exposed to
innovative farming practices like planting, and formulation, and this being his
first work experience, he is proud that he has learnt practical skills like
processing and preserving food for animals quite early.
“While I am here, teamwork has
helped change my outlook on work. I am more confident interacting with many
people on duty and I take that back to my brothers and sisters at home who are
now following in my footsteps” says a passionate Seezi, who now feels very
capable of taking on life with both feet forward.
Seezi has a personal laptop and he
performs clerical tasks such as writing duty reports that he has learnt during his
placement. He also notes that every day, he learns soft skills such as
effective communication from his colleagues and mentors. One of the mentors
that the graduate looks up to is Baguma Lucky, his manager, who also went
through the WRP previously, at Honda Enterprises
Limited.
